Morphology
The meaning 'a person or company authorized to sell on behalf of another' is transparently built from 'selling' (the act of selling) and 'agent' (a representative). The noun+noun composition matches common commercial word-formation patterns and has clear parallels in many languages, so a B1 learner who knows the parts will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Selling agent comes from a simple image: an agent is someone who acts for another person and selling shows what they do — they find buyers and sell goods or property for someone else. So the phrase means 'a person or company allowed to sell on another's behalf', often earning a commission.
